Hello everyone!
We had Kathy Moser come to our library on the recommendation of the fo=
rmer YA Librarian from E. Brunswick Public Lib. She comes to the libr=
ary and helps teens compose their own song. She provides the recordin=
g equipment, the instruments and everything, but pushes the kids to play ( =
if they can), sing (no matter how well they do it), and write the lyrics th=
emselves.
I found her to be such a pleasure to work with! She had such a g=
reat amount of patience with the kids, while also encouraging them to be cr=
eative and take chances. She even puts the recording up on her myspac=
e page for the kids to find & download if they want.
If you are looking for something different & creative, as well as =
attractive to teens of all ages, definitely look into this (and the p=
rice isn't too bad either).
You can reach her by phone at 908-591-4541 or by email at kathymoser@mac.com
She also has a website (kathymoser.com) and a myspace page.
Just wanted to spread the word about a cool program!

Of interest to all, particularly students interested in Government Documents and Law Librarianship http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2009/08/firefox-plug-in-frees-court-record=s-threatens-judiciary-profits Firefox Plug-In Frees Court Records, Threatens Judiciary Profits * By Ryan Singel Email Author <mailto:ryan@ryansingel.net> * August 14, 2009 | * 2:07 pm | * Categories: The Courts <http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/category/the-courts/> * pacerhdr_cropped <http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/threatlevel/2009/08/pacerhdr_cropped.gif>Access to the nation’s federal law proceedings just got a public interest hack, thanks to programmers from Princeton, Harvard and the Internet Archive, who released a Firefox plug-in designed to make millions of pages of legal documents free. Free as in beer and free as in speech. *The Problem*: Federal courts use an archaic, document-tracking system known as PACER <http://pacer.psc.uscourts.gov/> as their official repository for complaints, court motions, case scheduling and decisions. The system design resembles a DMV computer system, circa 1988 — and lacks even the most basic functionality, such as notifications when a case gets a new filing. But what’s worse is that PACER charges 8 cents per page (capped at $2.40 per doc) and even charges for searches — an embarrassing limitation on public access to information <http://www.wired.com/politics/onlinerights/news/2008/12/open_pacer>, especially when the documents are copyright-free. *The Solution*: RECAP <https://www.recapthelaw.org/>, a Firefox-only plugin, that rides along as one usually uses PACER — but it automatically checks if the document you want is already in its own database. The plug-in’s tagline, ‘Turning PACER around,’ alludes to the fact that its name comes from spelling /PACER/ backwards. RECAP’s database is being seeded with millions of bankruptcy and Federal District Court documents, which have been donated, bought or gotten for free by open-government advocate Carl Malamud <http://public.resource.org> and fellow travelers such as Justia <http://www.justia.com/>. And if the document you request isn’t already in the public archive, then RECAP adds the ones you purchase to the public repository. The plug-in was released by Princeton’s Center for Information Technology Policy, coded by Harlan Yu <http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/blog/harlanyu/introducing-recap-turning-pacer-around> and Tim Lee, under the direction of noted computer science professor Ed Felten <http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/>. That’s a pretty good hack, but it’s still just a stop-gap measure until the federal courts figure out that in the age of the internet, charging citizens to search and read public documents should be a federal crime. Using it should not cause journalists, lawyers or law students (PACER’s main customers) any legal trouble. After all, court documents are never copyrightable. But you never know how the justice system might react. Last fall, the federal court system shut down a pilot program that offered free PACER access at a few libraries around the country after it figured out that Malamud and hacker Aaron Swartz took them at their word and started downloading court decisions by the gigabyte. That got Malamud 20 percent of the fed’s court filings and an interrogation by FBI agents earlier this year. Hopefully RECAP will get a friendlier reception from the U.S. Federal Court System <http://www.uscourts.gov/>. -- Debbie Rabina, Ph.D, Assistant Professor Pratt Institute, School of Information and Library Science 144 West 14th Street, 6th fl.

| Subject: | QUERY: GSNJ Bible records -- NJDAR materials at Rutgers and in DC |
|---|---|
| Date: | Sat, 29 Aug 2009 22:03:58 -0400 |
| From: | h-nj@MAIL.H-NET.MSU.EDU |
| Reply-To: | H-Net Network on New Jersey history <H-NEW-JERSEY@H-NET.MSU.EDU> |
| To: | H-NEW-JERSEY@H-NET.MSU.EDU |
From: "Grundset, Eric" <egrundset@dar.org> Date: Wed, August 26, 2009 9:04 am As with most such materials, the reason why these haven't been scanned is money and staffing, as well as in some cases ownership of property rights. The New Jersey DAR has placed its compiled materials in the Special Collections Department at Rutgers for decades and here at the DAR Library in Washington since around World War I. The contents of these typescripts include many, many Bible and cemetery transcriptions along with a lot of other material gathered by NJDAR members since the early twentieth century. And, the information is not limited to the period of the American Revolution at all. Plowing through all of these books was a nearly impossible task for researchers with the poor-to-nonexistent indexing that has existed in the past. Thanks to financial support from many of our 165,000 members across the country, all of these typescript volumes (20,000 in total from all states; 921 either directly from the NJDAR or having NJ material in them from other states) are now being digitized. The NJ volumes were completed early this year. All of the scanning work should be finished for the entire country by this fall. We will then likely move to the creation of a subscription website containing the text of all 20,000 volumes and some other materials created or gathered by the DAR since 1890. In addition, we have had a national project for about 12 years to have all of these volumes indexed by every name. (My head cataloger spent years assigning new series and volume numbers to all 20,000 volumes because most states' sets had never been organized properly in the past). The series and volume numbers, therefore, only work with our set here and not the local sets like the volumes at Rutgers, but our online catalog contains all of the catalog records for these books to help make a connection to the locally-owned volume). Volunteer members across the country have been doing this work. About 450 of the New Jersey volumes have been completely indexed. The results of this indexing work appear on out website (www.dar.org) under DAR Library, then the tab for "GRC National Index" on the left near the top. This leads you to a search page. There is also a description of the project as it now stands. Visitors to our building in DC can now search the index and then also view the digital images online. We are working to link the index directly to the images. Of the entire national set of these typescripts (we call them Genealogical Records Committee Reports) about 11,000 have been indexed. The process is slow, but the dedicated volunteers have helped produce a massive index of about 35,000,000 names available to anyone free on our website. This effort illustrates what the DAR is really about -- voluntarism and historic preservation -- and not the usual stereotypes that we hear about incessantly. (Those "little old ladies in tennis shoes" are sitting at computers indexing stuff.) Our members are doing this work to open up this material for anyone to use because that was why it was gathered in the first place. They have embraced computer technology and funded all of this work because they know it needs to be done by them. [end of public service announcement] I sent this because the reference to "other organizations" having materials at Rutgers includes the NJDAR, and I wanted others to know that at least some this material has been digitized. There is plenty more at Rutgers of course, and while a trip to New Brunswick is not easy for most people, it is well worth the visit because of the wealth of material in the collection there (and at the excellent New Jersey State Archives in Trenton too of course). So, please visit our website, search the GRC National Index, order copies or come and visit. We've been open to the public for well over 100 years, and you might be surprised at what you find here that a distant relative gave us decades ago!! Eric G.

Kane" <dkane@americanhistoryimprints.com> Date: Mon, August 24, 2009 9:14 am Shouldn't the Bible records from the GSNJ and other organizations be available online? Since many of the families that may be mentioned in the records no longer live in New Jersey, and many researchers can't make the trip to Rutgers and elsewhere to view them in person, wouldn't it make sense to have searchable transcripts available to all on the Internet? In many ways the Net seems to have been made for genealogy - let's take advantage of it! David E. Kane American History Imprints Franklin Tennessee (888) 521-1789 www.Americanhistoryimprints.com
